(localization) Help transforming gettext po files to ts files
Message 1 in thread
There is a python project that help with that (and probably the ubuntu
launchpad localization toolkit) but I did not manage to make it work.
Hope it can helps some people. If you are moving from a project that
uses gettext po file for localization to Qt that might be handy. The
po files have to be slightly pre-processed, and there might corner
case where it fails (read the comments).
Regards,
Benjamin.
